Remembering Chase

Chase Winton Parrish
October 9, 1995 – September 14, 2025

Born in Avon Park, Florida, Chase brought joy, humor, and warmth into every space he entered. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, fishing, playing video games, and cheering for his favorite football team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Most of all, he loved being with his children and his dog, Teddy.

At only 29 years old, Chase leaves behind a legacy of kindness and laughter. He is survived by his mother, Garryn; his wife, Arron; his children, Winton Harvey and Fallyn Novelle; his father figure, Ralph Youngblood; and many extended members of the Parrish and Youngblood families, as well as numerous friends whose lives he touched.

Chase’s presence brought light to everyone he met, and he will be deeply missed.
